    Hope you find another one. Is a bit depressing when your savings go but good when it is something you want.

    That isn't very nice Jen! I'm going to the IOW at the beginning of October with the Sun, I hope they don't cancel me too! At least you'll get a bit of money back I guess.

    Thats awful Jen-why did they cancel? hope yours is ok Nikki :-/ How is everyone doing? I've been neglecting this thread (and I feel guilty so feel free to kick me) as I've been lurking on the trash to cash one on up your income as I have met a few people on there who are helping me with my business....as I'm now self employed I really need to get it going and earn some money!!
    New website will be up and running in a week or so I think-will give you all the link when it is!
